probably the reason you got some bogus replies is because of the question. First, why would you care about one team and single them out. Second, it doesn't really matter how they are now. Are you planning on avoiding them? Just line up and play. Just get it in your mind that they will be a tough out in any tournament. However, they are many other tough outs across the state that you will have to face. Maybe I'm missing your angle.

Maybe they are just wondering because they are considering trying out (?) it is a tough decision for a parent and I'm sure they have heard about the lasers reputation as being a great organization. Maybe that is the angle.

With all the sarcasm and bickering on this forum, one would assume such a topic would not be genuine.
It would appear it was a loaded question.

Don't know much about 12u specifically for this year, however,
If it is about "trying out"? - go for it, you never know what you will find, or how dd will respond. The biggest downside, IMHO, is to regret that you did NOT go for it at some point down the road, if it is interesting to you now. There is learning to be accomplished just from that experience by itself! Whether it is a good fit or not for your family specifically (travel, costs, training, competition, focus/pressure, egos) is a whole different complex matter to be pondered by an individual family. We really enjoyed our brief time and experiences with the Lasers - it was goal oriented, eye opening, challenging, growth oriented, and confidence building. We had fun, we had success, we have nice memories. No regrets about joining, and no regrets about leaving when it was time - FWIW.
If it is about "competing" with them? - they will almost assuredly be very athletic, well trained, well coached, advanced in skills & strategy, aggressive, and focused - they show up to "get down to business". Also, can't imagine that any Laser team wouldn't have a top pitcher or 2 (or 3). Bring the A game, they will rarely hand you a game, you will have to "take" it.
There are PLENTY of other teams/Org's out there in Ohio in all of the age groups that provide similar attributes & opportunities as do the Lasers though (don't want to use names). However, the Laser "brand" usually assures most of those attributes exist in their individual teams (usually). JMHO ....

Statman,
No, lol - it was an exerpt from the "expose" I was referring to last week in the Compuware thread, you know the one typed in invisible ink? See, a few went and thought the worst of ol' pickle, it would have been a very positive report actually. And all the fuss made ol' pickle almost turn into an angry "Incredible Hulk" like out-of-control cucumber. j/k ... ;D
But, "hamboning & joking" aside, let me re-iterate, those mentioned traits exist in MANY teams/Org's. Just with some Org's (5-10 of them, we know who they are), it is more consistent and uniform from age group to age group up & down the Org, partially due to formulation & philosophy. Any team is beatable, and there is a unique winning "formula" for competing with Laser teams in general also, just like ANY others.
Peace out.
